12345? Thats amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage!
Ha, mine is 10 times more secure!
Usually, an impact study is made before such type of laws are made:
- if this law is enacted, how much will it cost to the manufacturers to update their factory settings?
- how will this be impacted on the device cost in the UK compared to other markets?
- how many users will get stuck when losing the unique ID of the device, what are the recovery procedures, how costly is it to end users?
- how many users will be protected by the measure and what cost for society does it represent?
- how many users will set a dumb password anyhow and what is the cost for society?
I’d be curious to see the impact study, as many of those are actually botched.
Is the flying squad going to kick down my door if I use 12345 as a password?
How they know what password we use in our device ? Do they scan our device without our permission ?
Did you really just share an article without actually reading it?
It’s for manufacturer passwords, not ones set by users.
The legislation is to help regulate the manufacturers of IoT devices, not the users themselves.
Probably just default passwords
No, others do that for them: insecam.org
That’s not what this law is about, but yes actually they do!
I’m not even in the UK and my domains get hit by UK authorities that claim to be scanning for vulnerabilities
